Hello,
yeah there needs more things to be done especially for new players. At the beginning when I tried out the game, just a few weeks ago I thought it's very hard.
- Didn't talk to the first NPC because he was not right were I spawned. The game should start with him next to you automatically speaking to him to get some basic stuff.
- Lost all my stuff in the arena because of a bug that never got changed as it seems
- Hit a Brahmin in the Hub and got killed, thought I could do this because another player did it but he was just "pushing" it.
- Than I tried some quests to get some exp
- Died often randomly in fights
- Got pvped as a bluesuit while trying to get fibers
Than I read more about guarded towns, crafting and stuff. And almost all the things felt so hard and seemed so clear and easy.
- Leveling was fast and almost safe.
- Quest seemed useless
- PvP seemed the only thing to do if you want good stuff
- But it's very unattractive the same way cos you lose all your stuff while learning. So you need many sets of armors and try out many things. Than I lost the interest even thou I had some stuff but missed the goal of going on.
- Heard about that you can buy implants now and at the moment I have a new goal again.
Matter Fact. The game has no goals which keep me entertained enough. I'm not a pure pvper nor pure miner or crafter. I want to do more things which can give me good stuff or something more addictive.
- "Small" Level Cap 24 Limits the fun of leveling. Since than no HP, No Perks, Only Skill %
- Unique Stuff mostly in TC or New Reno, Warehouse (go PvP or die, "litterly")
So what to do. Cave running. Basically rush in and try to find stuff. Next.
I know it's not easy to create big quests. And I don't have so many ideas but here is a small one I would find cool:
- Spawn a cool Enemy like Frank Horrigan in an "non-Pvp and non-steal zone" so players need to play together and kill this imba creature with 50000 hp or so. If he dies he drops some nice stuff but not just where he stands more spreaded around the area so everyone can catch something. Some unique gatlings and other cool stuff.
The aggro of him should be controlled a bit but I think you can balance it. About his weapon I don't know yet. Needs testing. Maybe strong HtH with K.O or Rocket launcher. Maybe have different builds.
I would like such feature. If he spawns there could be a server message that he is there and player should kill it.
MY 2 Cents. Otherwise it's not only about luring them it's about keeping them playing. If Kilgore has some statistics he will see that many people who register stop very soon I guess. That's a real problem. I know many games will have such a problem but this one is very unfriendly for new users. Of course, it's a wasteland but it could be friendlier to new gamers.
